Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa (1871–1959), known in

Balearic

Spanish painter.

Life and career

Born in Barcelona, he studied there at the Llotja School. His early work had the clear academic imprint of his teacher, Modest Urgell.

In 1894 he moved to Paris, and studied at the

Arab influences. Allied with the Vienna Secession movement, his decorative style draws comparison to Gustav Klimt.^[1]^[2]

One of his most important works is a portrait of Sonia Klamery.

He died in Pollença, on the island of Majorca, and is commemorated by a bronze bust on the 'Pine Walk' at Port de Pollença.
